Walking Cricket 2024
to
Walking Cricket is the sport you love, just played at a slower pace – so it’s perfect for people who are older, or less physically able, but who still want to enjoy the thrill of the game. The game can be played as teams or in pairs. Everything is walking, including the ‘runs’ and fielding, and a match lasts about an hour. A soft ball is also used. Whether you’re batting, bowling, or fielding, it’s a great form of cardio exercise. Plus it improves both agility and hand-eye coordination. Ideal for a group of friends to get together, as Walking Cricket is a very social sport, filled with team spirit and fun.
The clubhouse will be open for tea and coffee after up until 4:30pm!
We want each Walking Cricket session to be SAFE
SOCIAL-together/team working/friends
ACTIVE - walking/moving/talking
FUN - people enjoying/smiling/laughing
Everyone – participates safely
WALKING CRICKET ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

Do not overexert yourself. Take regular breaks if needed.
The actions of batting and bowling can cause some players to become unsteady on their feet. Please be mindful of this and carry out these activities in a manner that will reduce the risk of you losing your balance.
